Chapter 211 Cooperation, Big Profit

"But--"

"We shouldn't be so formal."

"Then I'd like to thank Sister Zhichun first!"

"Thank you Zhichun!"

"You're welcome!"

Xu Zhichun was not stingy and unwilling to lend money to other people in the village. Borrowed things do not show their value until money is spent on them.

Just take two or three cents for the day.

Xu Zhichun went to see Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.

Looking across the entire Qingshan County, the only family capable of doing this best is the Qin family.

Xu Zhichun specially invited Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin to visit him.

After all, it is not convenient to move such a huge thing.

It feels so good and convenient to carry the banner of a powerful person. When Mr. Qin heard that this matter was of concern to County Magistrate Lu, he came to the door without hesitation with Mrs. Qin.

Xu Zhichun cut a heavy handful of rice from his own rice field and brought it home, then mixed the rice with rice bran.

Seeing is believing, so she decided to show it to Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin in person.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin came to Xu Zhichun's house. When they first saw these two huge things, they were as curious as everyone else. They couldn't imagine what these two things were used for.

Mr. Qin is indeed a successful boss. Although he couldn't see or guess what these two things were used for, based on Xu Zhichun's words, he guessed that Xu Zhichun invited him and his wife here, which was probably related to these two huge things.

"Madam Xu, just keep talking. I can't wait any longer."

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are both smart people. They don't need me to explain. They will understand after just one look."

Xu Zhichun personally took action and performed threshing and separating rice and rice bran with a windmill for Mr. Qin and his wife.

This magical situation left Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin stunned.

“This, this, this—”

"So this is how these two things are used? It's amazing! So amazing!"

Master Qin grabbed the threshed straw and turned it over and over to examine it carefully. "Not a single grain is left. It's been threshed clean!"

He threw away the straw, bent down, and scooped up a handful of golden grains from the wide, inverted trapezoidal wooden barrel. His eyes lit up with excitement, "Every grain is intact, not a single husk broken. Wonderful! Truly wonderful! Madam Xu, you're amazing! How could you come up with something so amazing! This will make harvesting grain so much easier from now on! Hahaha! This will save us so much trouble!"

Especially for families like theirs that have a lot of fertile land, they have to hire a lot of manpower to thresh the grain.

During the autumn harvest season every year, the whole family would worship their ancestors and the gods, kowtow and pray for their blessings, asking the gods and gods not to rain, not to rain, as they had to race against time to thresh and dry the grains.

If there is any delay, who knows if God will send down a torrential downpour.

It rains, that's a big problem.

With such a harvesting artifact, you can save a lot of time.

Mrs. Qin also understood what she saw and heard, and was equally delighted. She nodded repeatedly, "Madam Xu, this is truly a wonderful thing! We will definitely buy it."

Master Qin: "Yes, yes, buy, buy! This must be bought!"

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Master Qin, Madam Qin, come and see this windmill again."

“Okay, okay!”

"Madam Xu, please come in."

With the precedent of the thresher, Mr. and Mrs. Qin were looking forward to it very much and were eagerly waiting.

Xu Zhichun operated calmly. He first asked his wife and him to look at the mixture of rice and rice bran, then poured half a basket of the mixture into the wooden bucket above the windmill. He gently opened the gate with one hand and shook the handle slowly with the other hand.

The windmill's blades creaked as the shaft turned, and grains of snow-white, crystal-clear rice fell from the sloped exit at the bottom into the basket below like raindrops. The light rice bran was blown out to the left side of the windmill by the wind and fell to the ground.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up again and they smiled broadly on their faces.

Surprised and happy.

"So this is how the windmill is used. What a coincidence!"

"This way we don't have to worry about using a winnowing basket. Look, every grain of rice is clean."

"Master Qin, Madam Qin, the windmill can not only separate the rice husks, but it can also load the dried rice grains into it and blow away the fine grass debris and shriveled rice grains."

"real?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, that's even better, hahaha!"

You should know that after the harvested rice is dried, not every grain is full. There are always a lot of fine grass debris that cannot be removed by threshing, and there are also a lot of shriveled grains that need to be shaken off with a winnowing basket.

What you get in the end are clean, full grains that can be stored in the granary and used to pay taxes.

This is also a tedious and laborious job.

If you have a good thing like a windmill, what would you worry about?

Even a child can easily shake the handle, and plump and clean rice grains and cereals will fall down like rain, one basket at a time, one load at a time, and everything can be done just like that.

Good, that’s great!

Madam Qin couldn't help but hold Xu Zhichun's hand: "Madam Xu, you are so smart! I don't know how you came up with such a good thing. It's really great! We want both of them, and we want more than one."

"Yes, yes, it must be!"

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are satisfied, it's fine. The thresher and windmill are what you two want. I'd like to discuss this business with you two."

"Doing this business?"

"right."

"Lord Lu also thinks this is a good thing."

"Mrs. Xu, please tell me how to do this business."

Master Qin immediately became serious.

He is a smart guy, there is no need to say some things too directly, he will understand as soon as he hears.

Lord Lu’s opinion that it is good is equivalent to Lord Lu’s support.

Lord Lu's support means that Lord Lu also has a share in this business.

Mr. Qin was not only serious, but also very happy in his heart.

Good things, good things.

Wouldn't this be equivalent to getting closer to Lord Lu?

The relationship of making money together is closer than anything else, and it cannot be replaced by any amount of gifts.

Besides, Lord Lu is honest and honest, and rarely accepts gifts. During the New Year, he would just accept some local specialties out of courtesy.

Xu Zhichun had already figured it out and explained, "Master Qin has extensive connections, abundant capital, and sufficient manpower. This business requires Master Qin. There must be many people who need these threshing machines and windmills. If Master Qin hired people to build and sell them, I think he would be able to sell a lot, right?"

Master Qin nodded quickly. "Of course. So, this means the blueprints for the thresher and windmill. Will Madam Xu give them to me?"

Master Qin was a little excited.

Xu Zhichun smiled. "Of course, only Master Qin can do this, so the blueprints will naturally be handed over to him. The threshers and windmills we make can be sold in our county, several neighboring counties, and the provincial capital. We can also sell these blueprints to merchants from afar. Signing a contract with them prohibiting them from selling in our provincial capital and the surrounding counties would be another big deal, wouldn't that be?"
